HACK 167 Track Your Mileage

If you drive your personal vehicle for your job duties or a side hustle, you need to document every mile you drive. If you’re lucky, your employer reimburses you for miles you track and submit. But even if you’re not so lucky, you can deduct that mileage from your annual income taxes.

Tracking your mileage used to mean keeping a handwritten log in your car and remembering to keep up with the task. But now, there are lots of apps available to do the heavy lifting for you—and many of them are free. Try Hurdlr, TripLog, or Stride; each app has a free version and only charges for premium features.
